today i learned most of Every Teardrop is a Waterfall - coldplay
I just learned about chords and how to use them for this kind of stuff and so I tried it out today and here's what i got! This is the very first song that I really learned by ear.

Theres a lot of fail because I am not good, but every pro has to start nooby somewhere

That's not bad, I used to play Piano a little bit. I wasnt very good at it, But id love to get back into it. You need to work on it a bit more man, keep up the good work. work on the choppyness of it all and you'll be pro in no time!

Keep working on it! You're playing well but it's still lacking some polish. There's a lot of repetition in the song, and that's to build up to the intense part of it. Without that, the song is actually pretty boring, so you need to really pay attention to how the song builds up and winds down. One of the ways the song does that is by differentiating the attacks and releases. If you listen closely, the phrases end abruptly in the beginning, but become longer as the piece builds up. I think you're holding certain notes just a tad too long, so that buildup is somewhat lacking. Also be more aggressive with that left hand

Good luck!

thanks for the advice, ill try to do that! I just started with my left hand and don't know many Chord progressions yet to really use it, but i'm learning them now.

I also did notice that and was trying to make it simple in the beginning and add a lot more complexity towards the climax to make the whole thing build up more, but for a lack of time, I couldn't get that done

congrats, piano is one of the most interesting instruments to play imo. I love fooling around until I hear something familiar and try to sort it out. Now get a midi controller and Reason and you will complete the cycle of becoming obsessed with the keys.
